Live PD

I was amazed at the raw reality of what our officers face every day which this television series presents. Time and again I find myself relaxing with Live PD after a hard day's work.

I have to admit I did not have a very good opinion about police officers until I saw this show. It's amazing how officers try to protect people and look out for their welfare. I totally respect and honor all policeman after viewing the show.

This is an interesting show. Every episode is 3 hours and its live. It cameras following different police departments from all over the United States. However the show should be called "I smell Marijuana" because every 2 minutes that is what is said on this show.

Most of the time the cops seem to arrest black people people because they have a small amount of drugs on them. Most of the time the amount they have is very little! Its obvious for personal use but if its over a certain amount they get busted for "Intention Sell" (Which is bulls**t). Then while the cops are searching the suspects car they always call for back up and there ends up being on average 6 policemen on a low level drug possession. This explains why there is never a cop around when you need one.

To me all drugs should be legal and just stop with this drug war. Regulate it like booze. If you want to see how we can save money in this country then watch this show.

I also want to point out that Dan Abrams is an excellent legal consultant & talking head. He is not a comedian so he needs to stop with his jokes. There not funny. There not an offensive type of joke there just not funny. The last I checked he was hired as a host and legal consultant. He wasn't hired to tell jokes.

Just like COPS. This show is a perfect reason why people have to understand their rights. i dont hate good police officers, we need them! the crooked ones need to go.

Something that drives me nuts is Dan A. saying "We're going to take a short break, and we'll be right back.". Five minutes and 8 commercials later they return...for 10 minutes. Thank goodness for the Video recorder that let's me fast forward through the stinky commercials!
